The  Palm  Tree  and  The  Poppy. 


The  Palm  Tree  and  The  Poppy, 

The  one  so  trim  and  true, 

The  other  just  a  little  thing 

The  soft  winds  fluttered  through. 

They  looked  upon  the  ocean 

That  flung  its  salty  breath, 

They  looked  upon  the  mountains 

Where  snow  and  ice  meant*  death, 

"How  happy"  said  the  Palm  Tre« 

"You  and  I  should  be", 

"Between  such  avenues  of  death, 

Those  mountains  and  the  sea", 

The  poppy  then  reflected 

And  tossed  her  golden  head. 

"If  P  -.          'ie  I.lTh,  if  Death  ride  low, 

i  was  thus  the  Poppy  said 
Ai\d  I  should  ride  between 
I  naturally  would  then  expect 
The  luster  and  the  sheen 
Of  something  very  fine  indeed 
For  Ice,  and  Cold,  and  Snow, 
Must  strike  a  balance  somewhere  else—- 
And THAT'S  the  road  WE  go." 


Laurence  Edward  Innes.
